Crowns and the central medallion: Paper Marks
Crown-like forms surround a large oval medallion with a standing figure in Plate VII. Smaller devices carry crosses, clusters or initials, while the repeated finials invite comparison. The page belongs to Pott’s paper-mark collection rather than a catalogue of actual surviving metal crowns.
